Some time back when Nolan was selling this, I had a conflict and wasn't able to buy any blanks. Johnnie Jarheaded was kind enough to sell me a couple of blanks at his cost later. I deeply regret that I did not get to show him the end result. I post this as a thank you to a fine person who is likely guarding the ramparts of Heaven.

Cav, that's a five :star::star::star::star::star: and I'm sure Johnnie is smiling down from the ramparts of Heaven.
 
Outstanding job on that pen Cav, you did him proud. Now I have to figure out what to do with the ones that are sitting in the shop still, I don't think I can bring myself to make a slimline out of them anymore.
 
Now that's a burl I want to try! BEAUTIFUL finish...almost gives it the old growth, antique patina look. Very impressive :)
 
Hi Cav, beautiful pen. Wonderful color and burl.

So how is the cold weather up there in Pa. I recently moved from Lehigh Valley area to nice warm San Antonio Tx. I do miss the tall timbers seeing I use to have a sawmill business.
